Robert Kirkman and AMC’s The Walking Dead Season 6 has been officially confirmed. This should come as no surprise since The Walking Dead is the highest rated show in cable television history. I hope the new companion series to The Walking Dead does as well, even better, with its’ new story of survivors killing zombies. More Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) confirmed for 2015 - 2016.

AMC President Charlie Collier said the following:

We could not be more excited for October 12th as we share new episodes of ‘The Walking Dead’ with fans around the globe. In advance of Sunday’s season five premiere, AMC proudly confirms a sixth season order of this extraordinary series. Thank you to Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, the terrific executive producers, and the entire team who brings this compelling world and these rich characters to life. There’s plenty more Dead ahead thanks to their impressive, collective effort.

The Walking Dead showrunner and executive producer Scott M. Gimple will return for Season 6. Other executive producers confirmed to return are Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero and Tom Luse.

Are you ready for The Walking Dead Season 5 premiere on AMC this October 12, 2014!?
